Extract fan repair in West Peckham
Across West Peckham, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a fan that keeps cutting out and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
A callout to a small place like West Peckham goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

When a fan fails in West Peckham
West Peckham is about 26 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in West Peckham get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Dunstan, or anywhere around West Peckham, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Your questions about extract fan repair in West Peckham
Can you get to a site in West Peckham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and West Peckham is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you cover West Peckham for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and West Peckham is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Common problems we fix in West Peckham
In West Peckham, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A dead fan motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Mereworth Community Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the quote in West Peckham
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. In a small place like West Peckham, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
